Respite Care
We offer Short Term Services for individuals in need of 24-hour nursing care for short periods of time. This Respite Care is typically beneficial to caregivers who are taking a vacation, are on a business trip, or who simply need a caregiving break.
Often, Respite Care clients are people living with a progressive illness such as Alzheimer’s Disease or dementia, and are being cared for by family members.
Respite Care can be for as little as a few days and as long as a few months and is offered in many of our health care centers.
Respite Care Services include:
- On-site Nurse 24 hours a day
- Assistance with personal care
- Medication management
- On-site Physician care, Wellness Clinic, Nutritionists
- Social Services support
- Restaurant-style dining three times a day
- Activities and entertainment seven days a week
- Transportation to / from personal appointments
- Daily outings
- Community areas and outdoor courtyards for Resident and family enjoyment
- Daily housekeeping services
Specialized Short Term Alzheimer’s Care --Some Centers offer specialized services for Residents living with Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementia. These Units operate separately within a Center. Staff in these areas have been specially trained in techniques that enhance communication and care for people living with these diagnoses. Our Activity and Recreation Programs are tailored for individuals with memory impairments and focus on each Resident’s abilities, not his or her disabilities.
Admission -- If you are interested in a Respite Care stay and would like to arrange a personalized tour, please contact the Admission Office at the Center nearest you (listed on the right), or simply drop in for a visit.
